It's probably best to begin by defining the word superstition and then speak our truths clearly and plainly.

These definitions of superstition from the dictionary may be helpful.



: a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation

: an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition

: a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary

As you may have learned from your time in the military ... precision in language is important. Could you please more clearly define what you mean by the word superstition ?
